Excel Tape streamer on PS/2 Model 60 under SCO Xenix

[Paul Gillingwater]

We are trying to supply a customer with tape backup for their
PS/2 model 60 under SCO Xenix.  We purchased an Exerex Excel
Streaming Tape unit (version 4.2), which we hoped to install
inside the Model 60 cabinet.  When it arrived, we found that
there were no mounting materials or y-power cable, so we chose
to install it in its external cabinet.  Well, the Micro-channel
card went in fine, and it runs under DOS, but we want it to run
under SCO Xenix 2.2.  So, we ask the supplier for a device
driver, and they say sure - three weeks later a 5.25" floppy
disk arrives in the mail!  It turned out to be the generic
'386 version on the driver, not one that is intended for the
Model 60 - well, we don't have an external 5.25" drive for the
PS/2, nor do we have a 3.5" drive on our other Xenix machine, so
we can't copy it - is it likely to even work?

Our supply says that it will take TWO MONTHS for the real PS/2
driver to arrive on 3.5" media - has anyone actually seen this
beast?  Does it exist?  Has anyone had any experiences (good,
bad or indifferent) with tape backups on a PS/2 under SCO Xenix?
Can you recommend something that actually works please?

Reply via E-mail (if you can) and I will summarise....

Nuclear-free thanks,
